Change your username through the in-game settings menu
To change your Geometry Dash username, open the game and tap the menu button (the gear icon) in the bottom right corner of the main screen. From there, select Settings, then look for Account or Profile depending on your device. You will see a field showing your current username — tap it to edit. Type your new username, then confirm the change by tapping outside the field or pressing the checkmark button.
The new username takes effect when ready within the game. Other players will see your updated name on leaderboards and in multiplayer modes right away. You do not need to restart the game or log out and back in — the change is live as soon you confirm it.
If you are playing on a mobile device (iOS or Android), the steps are the same. If you are on PC through Steam, the process is nearly identical: open Settings from the main menu, find your account section, and edit the username field directly in the game client.
Key Takeaways
- Your username is changed through the Settings menu under Account or Profile, not through any external website or launcher.
- The change takes effect when ready and is visible to other players on leaderboards and in multiplayer right away.
- You can change your username as many times as you want with no cooldown period or restrictions.
- Your progress, levels, and achievements stay attached to your account regardless of what username you choose.
Where to find the username field on different devices
On Android and iOS, the username field sits in the same Settings menu where you adjust sound, graphics, and other preferences. Tap the gear icon from the main menu, scroll down to find Account settings, and your username appears as an editable text field at the top of that section.
On Steam (PC), launch Geometry Dash and go to Settings from the main menu. The Account tab will show your username field. Edit it the same way you would on mobile — tap or click the field, clear the old name, type the new one, and confirm.
If you are signed into a RobTop Games account (the official account system for Geometry Dash), your username is tied to that account. Changing it in-game updates it across all devices where you are logged into that same account. If you play on multiple devices with the same account, you only need to change the username once.
What happens to your progress when you change your username
Your levels, completed challenges, coins, diamonds, and all other progress remain exactly as they were. Changing your username does not reset anything or move your data to a different account. The username is straightforward the display name other players see — it has no connection to your actual game progress or account data.
If you have posted levels or completed levels that appear on leaderboards, those records will now show under your new username. Past records do not disappear or get reassigned — they straightforward display with your updated name when other players view them.
Restrictions and things to know before changing
Geometry Dash does not limit how often you can change your username. You can change it back and forth as many times as you want with no waiting period or penalty. There is no character limit beyond what the text field allows, though extremely long usernames may display oddly on some screens.
Usernames are not case-sensitive in Geometry Dash, so "Player123" and "player123" are treated as the same name. Special characters like spaces, periods, and underscores are usually allowed, but the game may reject names containing only numbers or certain symbols depending on your device.
If you forget what username you are currently using, you can see it displayed at the top of your profile page within the game. Open the game, go to Settings, and look at the Account section — your current username is shown there even if you do not edit it.
Changing your username if you play on multiple devices
If you are signed into the same RobTop Games account across multiple devices, changing your username on one device changes it everywhere. You do not need to make the change separately on each phone, tablet, or computer — one change syncs across all of them.
If you play on different accounts on different devices (for example, one account on your phone and a separate account on your PC), you will need to change the username separately for each account. Log into each account, go to Settings, and update the username for that specific account.
Troubleshooting if the username field will not change
If you tap the username field and nothing happens, try closing the game completely and reopening it. Sometimes the Settings menu does not fully load on the first try. Force-close the app (swipe it away from recent apps on mobile, or close the window on PC) and launch it again.
If the field still will not respond, check that you are not in offline mode. Geometry Dash requires an internet connection to change your username because the change needs to sync to the game's servers. Turn on Wi-Fi or mobile data, then try again.
On rare occasions, the text field may be unresponsive if your device is running low on memory. Close other apps running in the background and try once more. If the problem persists, restart your device entirely before attempting the change again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my username back to what it was before?

Will other players still see my old levels if I change my username?
Yes. Your levels and leaderboard records will display under your new username, but they remain in the game and are still playable. The levels do not disappear or get hidden when you change your name.
What if someone else already has the username I want?
Geometry Dash allows multiple players to have the same username. You can use any name you want regardless of whether another player has it. Usernames are not unique in this game, so there is no conflict.
Do I need to change my password if I change my username?
No. Your password and username are separate. Changing your username does not affect your password or account security in any way.
Can I change my username on the Geometry Dash website instead of in the game?
No. The username must be changed through the game itself using the Settings menu. There is no username change option on the official Geometry Dash website or through any external tool.
